Saturday:9.....

Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer

Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme!

Saturday 9: Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer (1979)

Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.

1) According to a marketing research firm, this song is both one of the most played and most hated songs of the season. Do you like it?  I think it's pretty funny and usually enjoy hearing it once or twice.  The one I really hate is Elvis singing Blue Christmas. 

2) In this song, Grandma's troubles start when she drinks too much eggnog. Do you like eggnog?  I do not like egg nog.

3)  In the song, Grandpa recovers from losing Grandma by drinking beer and playing cards with Cousin Mel. Will you be celebrating the holidays with cousins?  No, but it would sure be fun to have us all together again.

4) When did you most recently drink a beer?  Can't even remember.  Was it in a bottle, a can or a glass?  I don't care for beer.  I might have one once every 2 years.

5) The lyrics refer to "pudding of fig." In "We Wish You a Merry Christmas," the carolers demand figgy pudding. Yet despite its popularity in holiday songs, Sam has never tasted fig pudding. Have you?  Nope. Never.

6) Thinking of holiday sweets, would you prefer a gingerbread cookie or slice of pumpkin pie?  I'll take the gingerbread cookie.

7) This song was recorded by a duo named Elmo & Patsy. It occurs to Sam that she has never met anyone named Elmo. How about you?  Not Elmo.  Any Elmos in your life?  We had an employee at the Museum who was named Elma.  That's as close as I can get.

8) Do you need snow to get "into the spirit?"  Not even one flake. 

9) Random question: Are you going to get/have you gotten a flu shot this year?  I actually got TWO flu shots this year.

Thanks so much for joining us again at Saturday: 9. As always, feel free to come back, see who has participated and comment on their posts. In fact sometimes, if you want to read & comment on everyone's responses, you might want to check back again tomorrow. But it is not a rule. We haven’t any rules here. Join us on next Saturday for another version of Saturday: 9, "Just A Silly Meme on a Saturday!" Enjoy your weekend!

Thanks to Samantha for this week's Saturday:9!!  Thanks to you for your visit today!  Peace & hugs!
